Hello,
Last week, I updated my SQL Server 2012 SP1 to SP2 and then Cumulative Update 1.
I did it without any reboot between SP2 and Cumulative Update 1.
Before the update, my replications (Merge and Transactional) were working fine.
After the update - Although data replicate, I get constantly these errors :
- Transactional Replication - Log Reader Agent :
The last step did not log any message! (Source : MSSQL_REPL, Error number : MSSQL_REPL22037)
- Merge Replication (on all subscribers - All are SQL 2005 Express) :
The merge process could not perform metadata cleanup by retention in the basis of "DatabaseName" data. If the problem persists, try increasing the query timeout process or reduce the retention period. When solving
the problem, restart the synchronization with detailed and specify an output file to write to record history. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error Number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199466)
Get help: http: // help / MSSQL_REPL-2147199466
Conflict of operand types: bigint is incompatible with uniqueidentifier (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 206)
Get help: http: // help / 206
Conflict of operand types: int is incompatible with uniqueidentifier (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 206)
Get help: http: // help / 206
Also, if I execute the stored procedure : sp_mergemetadataretentioncleanup
I get these errors :
Msg 206, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_mergemetadataretentioncleanup, Line 63
Conflict of operand types: bigint is incompatible with uniqueidentifier
Msg 206, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_mergemetadataretentioncleanup, Line 65
Conflict of operand types: int is incompatible with uniqueidentifier
Error messages translated from French.
So it seems seems related to this KB article : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2982019/en-us
It should had been corrected in Cumultative Update 1 but for my case it is not !
To resolve the problem, I tried :
- Uninstalling 2012 SP2 - Cumulative Update 1
Reboot
Start SQL Server (no SQL Agent)
- Uninistalling 2012 SP2
Reboot
Start SQL Server (no SQL Agent)
- Install 2012 SP2
Reboot
Start SQL Server (no SQL Agent)
- Install 2012 SP2 - Cumulative Update 1
Reboot
Start SQL Server (no SQL Agent)
Start SQL Agent
No error during uninstall and install
Everything seems to have worked fine but the problem is still there (SQL is in version 11.0.5532)
So I don't know what to do to correct that except going back to 2012 SP1 but I'm worrying if it's a good idea ?
Does anybody has an idea on how to correct this ?
Thanks for reading and in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Olivier
